California’s hidden crisis: young men offline, unemployed, and disappearing

porcelainfog · 2025-10-31T06:39:14+00:00

I've been unemployed for two years now (thank God for GameStop stocks and living cheaply in Asia).

The last 4 jobs I've had female bully issues. It's me. I know it is. 4 times in a row isn't a coincidence. Something about me attracts them or I don't have the social tool/skill set to navigate women in the workplace. I had an abusive single mom growing up and I'm sure a psychiatrist could unpack it all or whatever.

But the end result is the same. Ignoring the reality leads to me being bullied. Accepting the reality means I need to find a field with more men. And let's be honest. If I could figure out how to fix the problem I would have done it already. I've tried. I'm in my mid 30s. I'm not going to miraculously figure it out now.

I'm looking into construction, insulation installing, IT and network engineering, or going back to school for an electrical or mechanical engineering degree (my undergrad was in philosophy where we had one girl and she dropped out. All male students and all male teachers). I could go law school but it looks like there's more women than men in law so it doesn't make sense for someone like me.

I'm hesitant to even post this on my main anonymous reddit account because of what current society has to say. But what about men like me? I'm not alone. It's gotta be 10-20% of working aged males fall on thebfar side of the line graph that just struggle to work well with women. Ignoring the problem doesn't help.

I think it also has to do with women unrealistic standards in dating. Men not dating makes them feel lonely, depressed and vene suicidal.

Men are suffering everywhere in the world because women are working instead of being housewifes. Call me crazy idc no man should be unemployed because for example that job requires tits and ass to attract costumers. Sorry for language. They're using women paying them less and for what them to buy bs make up implants post coffee on Instagram all that can be provided by a man every unemployed man can make a family feed them get his wife whatever she needs . Call me sexist too Either all mem that are capable of work. Work. Or stop favoring women and paying them less for more business profit. That's my opinion hope i didn't hot take it
